    They close for hours every day for "lunch" even though the official hours say they are open. They always say it's a one time thing but this is the third time I've wasted my lunch break coming here only for the same woman to shut the door in my face. Shameful.

    I had a last minute situation and I was nervous how to mail an item off. Luckily this post office was close by. Karen had a long line of people by herself but she ensured that each customer received the highest level of respect and attention. I am definitely coming back and getting more services because of her level of professionalism and care. Thank you Karen.

    Would give 0 stars if I could. The most miserable and mean people every time we go here! Choose literally ANY other location, they're all so much more helpful and kind.

    I hate this place with every fiber of my being. They are always rude and unhelpful - truly the worst post office I’ve ever been to. Shut it down.
